Men’s accessories are seeing a rise in sales. Accessorizing has become a key part in styling a good outfit. There is so much to think about when putting together an outfit. It goes beyond the suit. The days of conservative suiting are behind us and men are now looking for ways to express their personality through the clothing that they wear. Anyone can put on the same navy suit; it’s how we accessorize it that makes it truly unique.
I love collecting suit accessories. I have a vast collection of pocket squares, lapel flowers and ties. When styling clients I always look to select a unique set of accessories that will complement their outfit and showcase aspects of their personality. This is where you can have fun putting together an outfit. Accessories capture moments. Wedding parties are now opting for colourful socks to show off in photos.
For many, it’s easy to select accessories for their outfit. For others, it’s a very complicated process. Luckily, their are pre-assembled accessories sets on the market that allow you to easily put together a great outfit. Accessory sets have been very popular due to its simplicity. Some companies, like Sprezza Box, offer monthly subscriptions where random pieces are boxed and shipped to customers.
In Canada there seems to be fewer options for accessory boxes. But, there is one company that has started to fill this void. In Toronto, Dapper Set Inc. offers ready made box sets of carefully selected suit accessories to enhance your style. Every set serves a different purpose and can be used for various occasions. Whether it’s a wedding, business affair or for everyday wear, there is a set for everyone.
I sat down with Stephen and Ally, owners of Dapper Set Inc. to discuss the importance of accessories in men’s fashion and where the idea of the ‘box set’ comes from.
Why are accessories important in men’s fashion?
“Accessories are a way to make something neutral (and sometimes admittedly boring) more exciting. It also makes you stand out which is important in both your work and personal life. Besides standing out, accessories help shape a look from more fun to more formal by using different colours and combinations often with the same suit. Part of being on your ‘A’ game is looking sharp. The clothes don’t make the man, but they can certainly add something more important. Confidence. Confidence creates an image people respect and trust. Confidence is what makes you believe you can get that next promotion, that you can close that new client or make that great first impression. When you believe in yourself, the people around you follow suit.”
Why a box set? Where did this idea come from?
“I used to buy all my pieces individually and try to pair them up”, says Stephen. “I enjoyed doing it. A lot of guys at the office would either try and not coordinate the colours properly or would want to wear accessories but didn’t know where to start. So I thought, if we could make this easy, affordable, do it with great pieces, and package it for guys to take the guesswork out of it, we may really have something!”
